Billyâs Sports Bar
34 tarrytown road, phone: +1 603 622-3644. billy's is manchester's quintessential sports bar. it has an extensive -- extensive -- menu, is inexpensive, and is an excellent place for out-of-state visitors to watch football games. although the bar is a patriots bar, fans of the pittsburgh steelers, buffalo bills, new york jets and other out-of-market teams will find fellow partisans there on sundays, usually in the smaller "back" room. note that the "back" room will usually have sound and one of the main high-definition televisions turned to the steelers game when the steelers are playing, due to a large group of steelers fans who gather there weekly.
Raxx Billiards
1211 elm st. a comfortable and unpretentious place to play pool, watch the sox, or just hang out after work. voted "best place to play pool in manchester".
Manchester has a vibrant nightlife scene, particularly along Elm Street downtown and surrounding streets. Note that "last call" in Manchester comes early by American standards: about 12:45 a.m., with bars in the city closing around 1 a.m.
